Professional anchor, part-time occupation

Chapter 238 Fair competition, the knockout round begins!
By the window, there were only Yates and mouse.

Yates looked at mouse and could see the disappointment in mouse's eyes. He could understand this feeling. Anyone who changed from starting to substitute would not be in a good mood.

"Actually, it's good to take a break once in a while." Yates: "Like me... I want to take a break sometimes."

Mouse shook his head: "Yezi, you don't need to comfort me."

He is aware of his situation, he can only rest because of food, and if Yezi takes a rest, it is likely that he really wants to rest.

The situation is different, and there is no way to compare them.

However, he knew that Yates was trying to comfort him, so... it was even more uncomfortable.

"Leaf, can I ask a question?"

"You ask."

Yates was a little curious, not knowing what mouse wanted to ask.

After a moment of silence, mouse asked: "Yezi, tell me the truth, am I really good?"

"This……"

This question stopped Yates directly.

Mouse dishes?In fact, it's hard to say.

Because there is no particularly accurate measure of whether there is a dish or not.

If you compare mouse with the top laner in the world championship, then mouse is indeed inferior, but if you compare it with the top laner in the domestic league, mouse's strength is completely sufficient.

Abramovich's idea is mostly to let Zoom play in the World Championship, and occasionally let Mouse play a few times in the league, which is considered to be worthy of Mouse.

It's just that mouse is not a fool. When Abramovich made a decision, maybe mouse had already realized something.

That's why mouse is so frustrated.

After all, mouse had no credit or hard work in EDG, and he was suddenly replaced. Even if he could accept it intellectually, he couldn't accept it in his heart for a while.

"really……"

Seeing that Yates didn't respond, Mouse sighed silently.

"It seems that I am really not suitable for playing professionally."

Yates was silent.

Originally, he wanted to come over to comfort the mouse, but looking at the current state of the mouse, he suddenly couldn't say anything.

How to comfort?Are you strong?Since he is very strong, why did he change from the starter to the substitute?
To keep saying that comforting words, it could hurt even more.

For a moment, the two looked out the window and were silent at the same time.

At this moment, Yates had mixed feelings in his heart.

This is a professional player, when one day they are eliminated, they will not even say hello.

Without talent, everything is empty talk.

Everyone has seen the glamorous side of professional players, but in fact, the professional players who can be seen are already one in a thousand, or even one in a million.

There are Tsinghua University and Peking University every year, but it doesn't know how long it takes for an e-sports genius to emerge.

"You want to try one last time?"

Finally, Yates spoke first, and he decided to give mouse a chance.

"What?" Mouse didn't understand.

Yates: "I'll apply to the team to let you participate in the training match. In the end, we will see the results of the training match and decide to start. How about it?"

This is the limit of what Yeats can do.

In fact, with his status in the EDG team, it is not impossible to directly let mouse start, but that would be too unfair to Zoom.

Therefore, Yezi thought that the two would compete fairly in the training match, and the loser would be a substitute.

For this proposal, Mouse naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Thank you, Leaf."

"It's okay, come on."

……

In a blink of an eye, Yezi finds Abu and tells him what he thinks.

Abu hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

However, Abramovich has a requirement, that is, some strong teams must be found for the training match.

"You can make an appointment with WE or RNG."

Unfortunately, both teams have already made appointments for training matches.

For a while, EDG couldn't find a suitable opponent for the training match, but there was no way out, and there was another village.

The arrival of IG has solved the urgent need of EDG.

"IG is here to practice with?" Yezi's face was weird. He and IG were having a bit of a holiday, but he didn't expect...

"This year is a bit special." Abramovich said with a smile: "This is probably the most united time in the LPL."

Yates was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted casually.

This year's home game is in China, and no one wants the LCK team to win the cup here.

Even if there is a lot of care among the teams, it will not show at this time.

After all, the audience is not a vegetarian, and anyone who dares to make trouble at this time will definitely be accused by thousands of people.

Thinking of this, Yates immediately cleared his mind.

"But if you play IG...the top laners on IG are Duke and Theshy, so the pressure on them is a bit heavy."

Whether it is theshy or Duke, they are not ordinary top laners.

At least, the mouse and zoom at this time cannot be compared with the two.

"It's okay." Abu waved his hand and said: "There is pressure to be motivated. Some pressures will be faced sooner or later. It is better to make a fool of the training game than go home after making a fool of the world competition."

"That's true..." Yezi thought about it carefully, and it was indeed what Abu said.

Instead of being beaten violently by the opponent in the game, it is better to suffer more now.

"If there is no problem, let's play against IG in the recent training match."

……

That night, Abramovich announced the news of the training match with IG.

Everyone present was not surprised. At the same time, mouse and zoom looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a bit dignified.

"IG is not easy to play." Factory Manager: "I remember their top laners are very good."

Sister button: "That Theshy has something, and his style of play is very aggressive."

Elementary school boy: "That's what makes it interesting."

In the team, everyone is looking forward to the training match with IG.

Finally, the training match begins.

EDG built the room here, and pulled the IG players into the room one by one.

Game start!
In the first game, it was mouse.

Yates picked Xialuo in the bottom lane... Needless to say, EDG won easily.

Abramovich's focus, however, is on the road.

IG played Duke. Compared with Theshy, Duke is more team-oriented.

But even so, Duke still suppressed mouse in the laning phase.

At the end of the first game, mouse scratched his head angrily, not satisfied with his performance.

Immediately afterwards, the second game began.

In this round, EDG's top laner was replaced by zoom, IG had no personnel changes, and the top laner was still Duke.

Although IG banned Xialuo in the second round, they still lost the game.

It is worth mentioning that Zoom was not suppressed on the road, but he was caught and killed twice.

Seeing this scene, Mouse couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The performances of the two were not the same, and he still has a chance now.

Training continues.

This time, IG chose to replace the player and replaced Duke with Theshy.

As soon as the personnel were changed, EDG immediately felt pressure on the road.

Cheng Lu in the training match showed a terrifying suppressive force when she let herself go.

Not long after Mouse went online, Khan was kicked out.

"How can it be so scary?"

Mouse looked at the opponent's Jess, and his mind went blank. It was the first time he met such a terrifying Jess. In front of the opponent, he was like a toy, and he had no room to fight back.

Jess's control of the distance is too precise, and every consumption is just right. What makes him most uncomfortable is that even under the tower, he wants to eat soldiers is an extravagant hope.

Eat a small soldier, the blood volume will be lost.

In the end, mouse didn't even dare to touch the pawn line.

"This……"

Abramovich and Nofe, who had been watching the training match all the time, saw that mouse was beaten so badly, and they were all dumbfounded.

"What are you doing?" Abu took a deep breath: "This is not at the same level at all."

Nofe couldn't help but swallowed, thinking this is Jess?Fortunately, it was a training match, if he was crushed like this in the match... Nofe couldn't even think about it.

"It's over."

In the early 10 minutes of the game time, IG successfully demolished EDG's base.

"Ness!"

After finally winning a game, the whole IG team suddenly fell into a carnival.

"Finally won against them." King Ning: "They are on the road is a breakthrough."

"But it's a bit strange..." IG coach was rational. He found a very strange problem, that is, the opposing jungler didn't go to the road at all.

This point, the IG coach can't figure it out no matter how much he thinks, even if EDG's tactics are not on the road, it shouldn't be stocked to this extent.

How did he know that EDG's training match was originally to test EDG's two top laners, so naturally it would not interfere too much with their top lane performance.

"mine."

On EDG's side, mouse's face turned pale, and he blamed himself.

He played too poorly in this round, he thought it would be good to be stable on the top lane, but he found that he overestimated himself, facing Jace's bombardment, he had problems in the lane.

"it's okay no problem."

"It's just a training game."

"Go on, abuse back."

At the beginning of the fourth game, the top laner Mouse was replaced by Zoom, and it was still against Theshy, and it was still the top laner Jess.

Soon, Zoom also experienced the feeling of mouse.

"I'll go! Can you be so oppressive?"

In this round, Zoom took his signature crocodile, but it was tied, and he was still pulled by Theshy's Jess.

"It's better than mouse..." Abu felt his scalp tingle, he didn't expect that the two top laners were at a disadvantage when facing Theshy.

"Why is Theshy so fierce? It seems to be more fierce than the previous stage."

Nofe is also puzzled,
In the league, it's not that EDG has never played against IG. Although Theshy was strong at that time, it seemed not as scary as it is now.

"The top laner on IG has evolved."

With emotion, the fourth training game ended.

This round was played for a long time, more than [-] minutes, and finally Yezi's big mouth took over the game.

In the four training games, the performance of mouse and zoom was almost the same.

Mouse is better at preventing gank, and zoom is better at laning.

In this regard, Abramovich decided to observe and observe again, and then determine the starting lineup.

……

At the end of the training match, the coaching staff conducted a review.

Among them, Theshy on the road has become the key research object of EDG.

The more the replay, the more everyone can feel the horror of Theshy's laning strength.

"How can this person improve so fast!" Nofe said with a heavy expression. Although it was only a training match, it was also the epitome of the game.

If there is a problem with your top laner during the game, it will be completely over.

EDG's short board is in the upper half, and the coaching staff knows this better than anyone else.

However, it is not so easy to solve it if it is clear.

Whether it is mouse or zoom, there are certain defects at present.

When it comes to the official competition, it might become a breakthrough.

Yezi was not as unfounded as the two of them. It is true that Theshy carried very well in these few training games, and the suppression he showed was terrifying.

But don't forget, this is when the jungler doesn't target.

It is undeniable that Theshy has indeed improved a lot. In fact, it cannot be said to be an improvement, but it is just adapting to the environment and beginning to show its original strength.

But no matter how strong Theshy is, considering the jungle situation, he would not dare to suppress like today.

After all, the training match is not the main match, and Theshy plays without any pressure. In addition, no one in EDG is targeting Theshy, so Theshy looks like the invincible God of War.

Thinking of this, Ye Zi said with a smile: "I don't think there is any need to worry. This is just the start of the training match. After a few days of adaptation, it will not be so easy for Theshy to try again."

"That's right." Abu nodded, thinking that this is just an opportunity to compare the adjustment speed of his two top laners.

Although the zoom performance was a little better on the first day of training, it was limited.

Therefore, it depends on the follow-up performance of the two top laners.

The second day, the third day...

For several days in a row, there were training matches with IG.

Among them, the gap between EDG's two top laners has gradually become apparent.

In the beginning, the performance of the two top laners was almost the same.

But with the increase in the number of games, the improvement of mouse is limited. On the contrary, zoom is getting better and better. It has been able to withstand the offensive pressure of theshy online, and occasionally counterattack.

There is no doubt that the results have come.

After the training match ended, mouse leaned back on the chair with a slumped face.

He knew it was over.

"I can't beat it, alas."

Up to now, mouse has also recognized the reality. Yezi helped him find an opportunity, but there is indeed a gap in strength, and the starting lineup will only hinder the team.

Realizing this, mouse completely gave up the idea of ​​starting.

Everyone patted Mouse on the shoulder as a sign of comfort. Although they didn't want to see anyone fall behind, there will always be such a day from the moment they step into the profession.

Even if he was as strong as Uzi, he retired with the same regret. Mouse is not young, and it doesn't make any sense to continue playing.

So far, EDG's first start has been completely confirmed, and the first start will be made by zoom.

At the same time, after a few days of training matches, EDG also realized some problems in the team.

The first is the top lane. When EDG mainly plays the bottom lane, the top lane can easily become a breakthrough, especially the lack of experience in zoom games, and it is easy to be seduced by the opponent.

Secondly, there are some unique heroes, such as: Jess, Sword Princess, weapons and other heroes.

In the hands of players who can play these heroes, they can play too much role, and may even end the game in the mid-term.

Finally, EDG's tactical reserves are not many, and they are relatively single...

In the small book, the coach recorded the possible problems of EDG one by one.

Then, start special training for EDG players.

In this state, EDG's knockout round has finally begun.

EDG's opponent in the knockout round is this year's dark horse team msf.

Speaking of the msf team, everyone actually didn't pay much attention to it, only Yezi was more afraid of msf.

If he remembers correctly, this team almost killed SKT.

A female tank with a passion for war, a robot with a magic hook...

If it weren't for the huge gap in hard power with SKT, maybe msf could really overthrow SKT.

Even so, msf also scored two points in the hands of SKT, and Yates even wondered if SKT wet their pants in fright.

But I have to say that SKT is really tough, and has defeated opponents three to two in S7 many times.

Now, EDG is about to play against MSF, so they have to guard against MSF's black technology.

Competition venue.

Amidst the cheers that attracted much attention, everyone from EDG slowly entered the venue.

The knockout round of the quarterfinals has officially begun.
